The Celestial Court had actually suffered a defeat in Huaguo Mountain. Hundreds of thousands of Heavenly Soldiers had been defeated by the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal, Sun Wukong.
Although the demons had suffered heavy losses from the results of the battle, and one-third of the demon soldiers in Huaguo Mountain had been lost in a short period of time, the demons could not wake up at that moment. From the Demon Ancestor to the little demons, they were all excited.
The monkey king in golden chain armor, who was standing at the peak of Huaguo Mountain, looked up at the sky and shook the Three Realms.
Was there no one in the Celestial Court who could defeat the Monkey King?
Of course, there were many of them. Among the consecrators of the Celestial Court, there were many experts who could suppress the monkey. Among the righteous gods of the Celestial Court, experts like the Goddess of Golden Spirit could naturally suppress the current Sun Wukong.
However, at that moment, no one could figure out what the Jade Emperor and the Buddhists were planning. The smarter officials of the Celestial Court did not dare to speak carelessly, lest they ruined the Jade Emperor's plan.
Just like that, the atmosphere in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall gradually became gloomy and a little oppressive.
At that moment, the Heaven Queen was sitting on the right side of the Jade Emperor's throne. She was sipping tea calmly, as if she had nothing to do with the matter.
Old Lord Taishang, who had come to complain, was meditating in a more conspicuous corner of the hall. He only closed his eyes to rest, as if he had specially come here to pressure the Jade Emperor.
The monks from the Buddhist sects who came with the Queen Mother of the West seemed to be much more relaxed. All of them were transmitting voice transmissions to talk about Sun Wukong's abilities and potential. It was as if they had already treated this spiritual monkey as a member of the Buddhist sects.
"Ahem!"
Venus Taibai seemed to have a sore throat. He coughed dryly and pinched his throat before bowing to the Jade Emperor. "Your Majesty, I think that we should send soldiers who are good at fighting to capture this demon monkey."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a shout from outside the hall, "Western Buddhism, Guanyin is outside the hall and wishes to see Your Majesty!"
"Why is Ci Hang here?" Zhao Gongming muttered and unconsciously spoke a little louder. However, the immortals and Buddhas in the hall heard him clearly.
"Oh?" The Jade Emperor didn't seem to notice and said, "Invite Guanyin into the palace."
The Buddha's light lingered, and the holy white light spread out from outside the hall. Ci Hang, who was dressed in a white muslin robe, walked in with lotus steps.
At that moment, the monks of the Buddhist Sect bowed and greeted him on both sides. Most of the immortals in the Celestial Court bowed with a Dao salute. Only the cultivators from the Chan and Jie Sects ignored them.
Guanyin's gaze fell on the corner of the hall for a moment. She saw Yang Jian with a smile that was not a smile, and her footsteps paused slightly.
Yang Jian was actually here. For the matter that she and the Jade Emperor were discussing, this should be a small accident.
At this moment …
"Husband," Xiao Lan said calmly. She did not hide her voice at all. "I remember that this seems to be an Aunt-Master of Chanism. Why did he become a member of the Buddhist Sect?"
"Lan 'er, don't say too much." Yang Jian also knew that Xiao Lan's personality was a little "intolerant". He followed her words and took the opportunity to make his presence known in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.
Yang Jian said, "I will explain the karma of this matter to you in detail later. It's fine if you don't mention the past."
"Oh," Xiao Lan replied obediently. In fact, she was sending a voice transmission to Yang Jian and giggling non-stop, causing Yang Jian to lose his temper.
The ones who were embarrassed were naturally Ci Hang and the monks of the Buddhist Sect.
However, Yang Jian was standing there. Who dared to stand up and refute him? Not to mention that Yang Jian was famous for being protective of his disciples, and it wasn't just his disciples that he protected.
Back then, when Lü Chunyang died, Yang Jian had killed his way to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall in a fit of anger. If Yang Jian's wife were to be wronged today, wouldn't the spiritual mountain tremble?
It would feel good to point at Xiao Lan and scold her for spouting nonsense for a while, but it was very likely that it would cause great trouble for the Buddhist Sect …
From the way Ci Hang was still walking forward with a smile, the Buddhist Sect really did not dare to provoke Yang Jian at that moment.
"Greetings, Heavenly Venerate." Ci Hang arrived in front of the immortals, second only to Venus Taibai. He pressed his palms together and bowed to the Jade Emperor.
The Jade Emperor stroked his beard and asked, "Why did Guanyin come today?"
"It's naturally because of the spirit monkey of Huaguo Mountain," Ci Hang said with a smile. His gentle voice echoed throughout the Lingxiao Treasure Hall. It had the effect of calming one's heart.
The Jade Emperor asked again, "Does Guanyin know about the demon monkey?"
"Replying to the Heavenly Venerate, the spirit monkey was originally transformed from a five-colored stone that was left in the human world by the virtuous Goddess Nuwa when she mended the heavens. Over the years, it has absorbed countless Heaven and Earth Essence Energy. Therefore, its Dharma powers are high and its abilities are powerful. It is really difficult to deal with."
"Since you are here, you should have a way to deal with it. I wonder if there are any experts from the Buddhist Sect who can deal with this spirit monkey?"
The Jade Emperor and Ci Hang spoke one after another. The others could not even interrupt. At that moment, the immortals in the hall understood something.
It seemed that today was just a trap set up by the Jade Emperor. The people who were implicated had become fools who were acting!
However, to be able to get the Grand Supreme Elder and the Heaven Queen to act together, this scene must be extraordinary. It might be related to the Heavenly Dao that had appeared previously and the calamity known as the Journey to the West.
The Jade Emperor asked Guanyin to recommend an expert to capture the demon monkey. Could it be that he wanted to take this opportunity to let the Buddhist forces enter the Celestial Court?
But what good would this do to the Jade Emperor? At this time, the Celestial Court could not be considered as an iron plate because of the remaining power of the Dao Sect. What was wrong with the Jade Emperor that he would let the Buddhist Sect interfere?
Could it be that there was a deeper plot behind this matter?
The immortals in the hall were all puzzled. The person that Ci Hang mentioned made the group of people stunned.
It was because Ci Hang said, "Distant water can't put out a nearby fire. The person who can capture the demon monkey is in the hall. Your Majesty, why do you ask me?"
"Oh? Guanyin refers to … "
"Your Majesty, your nephew barged into the Celestial Court to save his mother. Although he offended Your Majesty and offended the Heavenly Venerate, he is the best candidate to capture the demon monkey."
Ci Hang paused. The Jade Emperor revealed a thoughtful expression and kept stroking his beard.
In the corner, Feng Wu and Xiao Lan both looked up at Yang Jian. However, Yang Jian stood there calmly, as if he was not surprised at all.
The Jade Emperor also seemed to not know that Yang Jian was there. He sighed on the throne and said, "It's just that my nephew is too proud and aloof. He does not care about anything. Although his bravery is the best in the world, it is still difficult for me to feel at ease."
"Your Majesty, you are wrong." Ci Hang said again, "Immortal Erlang values filial piety and righteousness. He knows how to repay his parents and repay his master's kindness. How can he not know Your Majesty's good intentions? Today, Your Majesty has issued a decree. Immortal Erlang will definitely follow the order to capture the spirit monkey of Huaguo Mountain and make contributions for the Celestial Court. "
"You don't know." Taibai Jinxing sighed at the side. "When Perfected Lord Erlang entered the Heavenly Courts back then, he wrote a document. From then on, he listened to the tune and did not listen to the orders."
"This is exactly Immortal Erlang's act of loyalty and filial piety," Ci Hang replied gently. Venus Taibai seemed to be a little speechless.
This conversation confused the immortals and Buddhas of the Celestial Court and Buddhism.
What is this? The Buddhas asked the Celestial Court to put Yang Jian in an important position? And in front of Yang Jian, they kept talking about Immortal Erlang …
Could it be that these few big shots had some evil disease?
Xiao Lan secretly glanced at Yang Jian's expression and found that Yang Jian had changed from calm to a slight frown. He seemed to be thinking about something. She was about to stand up and expose this farce.
However, just as she was about to take a step forward, Yang Jian raised his hand and stopped her.
There must be something wrong with everything that happened today. The Jade Emperor, the Heaven Queen, the Grand Supreme Elder, and the Buddhas must have planned it beforehand.
Could it be that it was the intention of the three grandmasters to let him return to the Celestial Court?
Yang Jian was puzzled when he heard a bell ring beside his ear. The scene in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall seemed to have suddenly paused.
A little immortal aura floated over from everywhere and condensed into four lines of sixteen words in front of Yang Jian.
"The Death Tribulation is coming. A catastrophe is coming. Do not be impulsive. Return to the Celestial Court. "
Another faint bell ring sounded. Everything around him returned to normal. The sixteen words in front of Yang Jian also disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Death Tribulation, catastrophe?
The Saints have already sensed that something was amiss in the North Ocean?
At that moment, Yang Jian had already understood that the situation today should have been pushed by the Saints. They wanted Yang Jian to return to the Celestial Court so that they could unite the two strongest forces in the Primordial World in the future to deal with the future calamity.
If that was the case, Yang Jian could not be too impulsive. After all, from the moment he went to subdue the Four Spirit Kingdom, he had only thought about doing something for the Primordial World.
His original intention had not changed. It was a pity that he was not an old friend.
Yang Jian waited for a while and waited for Ci Hang to "convince" the Jade Emperor. When the Jade Emperor ordered Yang Jian to capture Sun Wukong, he immediately released a little aura.
"There's no need for the Heavenly General to pass the message. I'm here," Yang Jian said calmly. The pressure made the hearts of others palpitate.
Yang Jian sent him off via voice transmission. "Wait for me here."
Feng Wu and Xiao Lan bowed at the same time to send him off. Yang Jian took a step forward. The immortals in front of him hurriedly retreated to the left and right, making way for the Jade Emperor.
This journey was actually only a hundred steps.
However, the expressions and thoughts of many immortals were very complicated.
Yang Jian, the Saint Slaying Perfected Lord who the Celestial Court regarded as a thorn in their side, was finally going to enter the ranks of the Celestial Court's immortals today?
What is this?
Could it be that the Dao Sect wants Yang Jian to replace the Jade Emperor?
If not, most immortals and Buddhas would not be able to come up with a reasonable explanation.
Yang Jian nodded slightly at Ci Hang expressionlessly. The latter moved to the side and Yang Jian walked straight to Venus Taibai's side.
That position was very ingenious. It was originally Li Jing's position, but at that moment, it was "occupied" by Yang Jian.
That was because Li Jing was not there. If Li Jing was there, he would probably take a step back and not dare to stand in front of Yang Jian.
Yang Jian said calmly, "Your Majesty, I can agree if you want me to fight the demon monkeys of Huaguo Mountain. However, you have to give me some righteousness."
The Jade Emperor's expression was the same as Yang Jian's. There was no emotion on his face.
However, it was precisely these two somewhat indifferent faces that seemed to symbolize two turbulent undercurrents that were silently colliding and intensely playing a game.
"Pass the order." The Jade Emperor's voice sounded calmly. "Perfected Lord Erlang will be reinstated. He will be specially granted the position of the Lingxiao Hall Walker and return the treasure armor to its original owner. He will also be given the Immortal-Slaying Green Sword and the right to supervise the ten thousand immortals of the Celestial Court."
Yang Jian cupped his hands and lowered his head. He looked like a general. "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Venus Taibai, who was at the side, smiled and stroked his beard. The immortals and Buddhas in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall were deep in thought.
The Jade Emperor looked at Yang Jian and seemed to sigh. He leaned back dejectedly. "If Perfected Lord Erlang can capture the demon monkeys and win, he will be rewarded by the Celestial Court."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Yang Jian cupped his hands and thanked him again. Two groups of Heavenly Generals had already walked forward. A few of them carried Ao Xuehan and a few protected the Immortal Slaying Sword.
Xiao Lan and Feng Wu walked forward slowly. One of them took the treasure armor and the other took the sword. They stood behind Yang Jian.
"Let's go." Yang Jian looked at the Jade Emperor. When he saw the Jade Emperor looking over, he calmly looked away.
Venus Taibai hurriedly shouted, "Perfected Lord Erlang, do you know where to gather troops?"
"There's no need to gather troops. The troops at the mouth of the river are enough."
A snow-white spear appeared in Yang Jian's hand. His aura was instantly filled with determination. The immortals and Buddhas did not dare to look at him directly.
At that moment …
